| Gasoline IS STILL CHEAP for Rockdocking
I am hearing from friends with trailers that the summer potential of $4.00 a gallon for gasoline is going to put them in their yards, raking the grass and pulling weeds...
There ARE benefits from higher gasoline prices:
(1) Fewer people on the highways.
(2) More deals at RV Parks with fewer customers
(3) More spaces to be found in popular National Forest camp grounds
(4) National Park traffic will be reduced... at first
(5) Nobody camped on BLM or National Forest "Rockdocking" country
Savings using your Airstream:
(1) No hotel or motel expenses
(2) No car rental expenses and GASOLINE
(3) No airplane tickets and surcharges, standing in lines
(4) No boarding for your pets
(5) No home air conditioning, cooking, water or other utility use
(6) No depreciation of your AS just sitting at the storage park
When you calculate your expenses of traveling without a trailer and with a trailer, you will be surprised at the savings using your trailer. I have learned several excellent points for my Rockdocking back country adventures.
Rockdocking Savings:
(1) Plan in advance your route from A to point B to point C, etc.
(2) Do NOT haul a full fresh water tank until near destination
(3) Sort out the excess weight not needed for THIS TRIP
(4) Adjust your tire pressure to maximum rolling pressures
(5) Driving UP costs for fuel. Returning DOWN saves fuel mileage.
(6) Prepare your own meals versus dining out (if you are so lucky)
(7) Life is too short. Make the best of your health. NOW!
